What have the non-wealthy done for the working class? At least the wealthy can provide a job, as the working class, we are each other's competition for those jobs instead of starting our own damn small businesses and supporting it. The working class just eats and destroys itself because it is too stupid to understand basic economics.
The problem isn't the ultra wealthy, the problem is the idiot working class that push "laws on the ultra wealthy" that the ultra wealthy themselves want. Don't you know the ultra wealthy want higher minimum wage? They want that because it pushes inflation, and inflation means their assets (stocks) get over valued.
That means, all the people get poorer, while those who own stock (ultra wealthy) get richer. Higher minimum wage also means the small business owners now cannot expand, they cannot become wealthy and compete with the ultra wealthy, while the ultra rich start using automated systems for ordering and other things that small business can't afford.
Why do you think Bill Gates silently supports the candidates who want to raise minimum wage? Why does BLACKROCK support it? like the so called working class can't even figure this out. There is no trickle down economics, but there is no fair competition to move up and compete if government regulation ties down the little guys.
Then you got wealth tax, death tax, all sorts of new taxes that prevent the working class from building wealth themselves. Oh! But we're taxing the rich.. bro, the rich be moving out... you're just giving the government power to control who gets rich and then with that the already rich remain in control.
I feel like we are in some economic twilight zone where everyone is stuck in this helpless delusion.
